Season From Runs Carpenter

Baseball Betting Lines

Franklin's earned run average has skyrocketed to 8.46 this season as opposed to a 3.46 ERA and a 6-2 record last season.

 

Despite missing the past 15 days, the 25-year-old still ranks first among rookies in batting average (.294) and multi-hit games (25), and is tied for first in hits (73).

 

His lone win came on June 17 against the New York Yankees when he allowed one run in 7 1/3 innings, snapping a six-game personal losing streak.

 

Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Astros made several roster moves Wednesday, as announced by general manager Ed Wade. Outfielder Jason Bourgeois was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right quad. Bourgeois left Tuesday's game against the Rangers in the eighth inning after tweaking the quad. In 45 games this season for Houston, Bourgeois was hitting .353 with nine RBI and 14 runs scored.

 

The Astros also recalled pitcher David Carpenter from Oklahoma City and claimed outfielder Luis Durango off waivers.

 

To make room for Carpenter and Durango, catcher Brian Esposito has been optioned to Oklahoma City and pitcher Alberto Arias has been transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

 

Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It took nearly two months, but Derek Lowe has once again found the win column. The veteran right-hander tossed six effective innings, and the Atlanta Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners with a 5-3 victory at Safeco Field.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
